Man makes shocking discovery about a white woman who walked up to speak fluent Igbo to him and her story will surprise you

An Igbo man in the UK received the shock of his life when an old white lady came up to him to speak fluent Igbo to him. During their conversation, he made an interesting discovery about her.

Uche Anyanwagu said the lady, whose name he later discovered is Nkechi Rosalind Colwell, tapped him, then asked him for his state of origin in fluent Igbo. When he replied, she told him she worked in his state, Abia state. The rest of her story gets even more interesting as you read.

Precisely three weeks ago, I had a tap on my back shortly after a Church service in London. As I turned to behold at whose behest, I saw an elderly lady on a wheel chair.

She opened a Home for the Mentally ill at Amaudo, Itumbauzo and went round the whole of Abia State, picking up and admitting our siblings to this home.

.

.

They got medical care, learnt a skill and some were rehabilitated and reintegrated into the society.

.

.

Nkechi left the comfort of her home in United Kingdom and dedicated her entire life serving the most deprived in forgotten corners of our homeland.

.

.

As her sister later told me, “She is Nigerian and hardly identifies as British. She still eats your food and desires to return home back to you someday...”

.

.

Her fluency in Igbo language thrilled us all. For almost an hour we spoke, even with my family, we did in Igbo.

.

.

She was given the name NKECHI by Late Pa Herbert Osoka. The community she served also gave her a chieftaincy title, while she was knighted by the Methodist Church.

.

.

Unfortunately, NKECHI suffered a massive stroke attack at Itumbauzo which left her partially paralysed and confined to wheelchair.

.

.

She had to go back to United Kingdom, even against her personal desire (unlike our President) due to the poor state of our healthcare.

.

.

People like NKECHI COLEWELL deserve sainthood.

.

.

In a country where national honours are bestowed on undeserving politicians and highest-bidding business men, NKECHI’s name can be easily forgotten.

.

.

In a State where selective amnesia rules her political class, NKECHI won’t be found fit for the “Enyi (Elephant) Abia” state honours and their likes.

.

.

I thanked NKECHI for her service to an ungrateful people like us. I told her that her breed is rare, and when the roll will be called, I believe that she will be counted as the Righteous Among The Nations.
